Coronary angioplasty

By David A. Clark

The Second Edition of this popular guidebook to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) incorporates the latest advances in both equipment and methods to provide both a concise, up-to-date introduction to coronary angioplasty for the novice as well as a comprehensive, practical reference for the experienced angiographer. As in the first edition, the emphasis is on the practical aspects of safely and effectively performing PTCA procedures. To this end, the book presents numerous case studies to illustrate its discussions of such issues as patient selection and care, use of the newest equipment and techniques, specific surgical approaches to instances of stenoses, occlusions, bifurcation lesions, and myocardial infarction. Includes a companion videotape presenting examples of PTCA procedures in process.
